Why come back. Of course, Li Mingguo has his own calculations. He hated the prefect in his heart, "Yu." is full of boundless remorse, in fact, when he heard the rumors and fled softly, Li Mingda had a little remorse, what about slandering Chu Qian, Li Mu has no evidence, there is no evidence that he did it himself, and it is also the right of officials to report corruption and bribery, and it is not a violation of the law, he is innocent, but as soon as he escaped, he was convicted of various crimes.

At that time, Li Mingda received the news, he was anxious, and he didn't think much about it, he had his own concerns, everyone knew that Hangzhou Taishou Fan Zhongyan was very important, and how could he dare to stay under his weak heart.

However, during the period of hiding, I heard that Chu Zhen did not listen to Li Mu's words, and Li Mingda regretted that his intestines were blue, but with his character. Naturally, I don't blame myself for things. will only complain about Chu Qian, not only robbed him of his position as the magistrate, but also caused himself to be like a big loss. I can't live in fear, and I don't dare to see people with my true face.

After nearly three months of worrying days. At the same time, the resentment towards Chu Zhen in his heart has also reached the point of no return, seeing that the trend of searching for himself is gradually Li Mingda can no longer bear it, and he doesn't want to live that kind of dark day anymore, after discussing with some people, after a makeover disguise, he mixed into Hangzhou City, ready to do a big thing.

He has been in charge of the official affairs of Qiantang County Criminal Prison for many years. With Li Mingda's means, he wanted to recruit a few outlaws. It's not a difficult thing, and he's a cautious person himself, and he understands the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit. Leave yourself a few back roads, otherwise how can you hide until now safe and sound when you are wanted by all roads in the city.

"We're old friends, since I'm here. What is the purpose, can't Master Liu guess it Li Mingda said softly, a trace of hideousness appeared on his delicate face, if he was not forced to do so, he would not want to choose this path.

When Liu Renzhi heard this, his eyes rolled a few times. As if thinking about it, he asked: "Could it be that County Lieutenant Li, ready to go to sea?" ”

"Well, if you are friends who have been friends for many years, you know that you can't hide it from Master Liu." Li Mingda seemed to be smiling happily, but in fact, he hated even more in his heart.

You must know that in ancient times, there was a lack of navigation skills, and it was a very risky thing to go to sea, unless forced to do so, even if there were merchant ships to go to sea to trade. It is also difficult to recruit people, and the Chinese still have a heavy local complex in their bones. To leave your hometown and cross the ocean is simply to forget your ancestors, which is shameful.

Also, in the eyes of the world, the Central Plains is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the rest of the places are barbarian lands. Although there are many overseas legends, there are countless immortal mountains and sea monsters and immortal fruits, but as long as they are sane and normal, they will not put themselves in danger for the sake of such ethereal legends.

Moreover, after a long time in Hangzhou, there were many opportunities to contact with maritime merchants, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, Li Mingda naturally did not believe in those legends of immortals and monsters, and was even more reluctant to the Huahua world of the Central Plains, but now that he has been compiled by the official government, he also knows in his heart that the world is so big that there is no place for him.

Moreover, in normal times, seeing the huge profits of maritime businessmen, Li Mingda often jokingly said to others that if he didn't give up his official position one day, he would also go to sea for business, so Liu Renzhi would guess Li Mingda's plan.

There is a big port on the edge of Hangzhou, and Li Mingda wants to go to sea, so it stands to reason that the secret appears in the city. Waiting for the opportunity to escape by boat, that is a normal thing, however, Liu Renzhi knows that this is very unreasonable, you must know that Li Mingda is wanted to be punished, and the most dangerous place is the safest place, although there is some truth, but this is mostly fooling people. There are countless people in Hangzhou who know him, and he should be afraid to avoid it, how can he fall into the net.

Moreover, the coast outside Hangzhou is dozens of miles long. Liu Renzhi believes that since Li Mingda is going to sea. Be sure to be fully prepared to board the ship at any place outside the city, so why bother to sneak into the city. Increase the probability of accidents, isn't he afraid of being recognized, this is not a smart choice.

The corners of his lips moved, hiding the uneasiness in his heart, Liu Renzhi said: "This is very good, but I don't know when County Lieutenant Li is going to leave, I will definitely go to see him off." ”

"Liu Zhuluo, why do you ask knowingly. Lord Zhixian was so unkind to me, Li Mingda sneered and said, "Before I repay him, how can I leave with peace of mind." ”

"Li Mingda, you're crazy." Even if he had some preparations in his heart, Liu Renzhi's face couldn't help but change suddenly, and he exclaimed: "It's not Chu Zhixian's fault, it's purely heaven's will, how can you push the miss on him."

Paranoid people will always not admit that the fault lies with themselves, and besides, Li Mingda has already decided that the reason why he ended up in this fate is that Chu Zhen is obstructing him, so he naturally can't listen to any opinions.

"Don't say it." With a burst of boredom in his heart, Li Mingda waved his long knife and said hatefully: "If it weren't for him slandering Fan Zhongyan, why would I be like this, if I don't take revenge, I can't feel at ease."

The knife flashed, Liu Ren's heart was cold, and he was silent with interest, and at a glance, he knew that Li Mingda had admitted his death, at this time, when would he say some nonsense such as retribution for wrongs, and it would be better to settle the grievances than to settle them, wouldn't it be boring to find himself.

After taking a long breath, with a little indifference, a smile appeared on his face, and Li Mingda said: "Director Liu, you and I have been friends for many years, and the friendship is shallow, presumably you should be happy to help me with this kind of trivial matter." ”

After a long silence, Liu Renzhi sat down beside him. Slowly shook his head and persuaded: "Zitong, listen to me, if you are not careful, every step is wrong, but there is still room to turn back, if you are obsessed again, I am afraid it will be irreparable."

"Do you think I have room to redeem it now?" Li Mingda said expressionlessly.

Seeing that Li Mingda seemed to be moved, Liu Renzhi hurriedly said: "That's natural, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty." As long as you are willing to turn yourself in,"

"To be tattooed into the army, or exiled as a slave, thinking that I was born as a scholar, such a despicable thing, how can Li Mingda smile and said coldly: "This is all thanks to Chu Qian, so that I am reduced to the point that I am not even as good as a beggar, this revenge is not avenged, so how can I be willing." ”

"Zitong, I think when we first arrived in Qiantang, you also said that you should be fair and honest, ensure the peace of the party, let the people live in peace and happiness, and be a clean official admired by all the people, and now how can you become like this" Liu Renzhi said sadly, his eyes flashed with affectionate nostalgia.

Li Mingda was unmoved, and said with a disdainful smile: "People will change, and you are not like this, I don't know who it is. ”

Kawahito! His face suddenly turned red, and he stammered and defended! "You are not a service magazine, and I am also helpless

"Yes, I'm helpless, don't take it. offended Shangfeng, as well as those heroes with a background to the sky. Li Mingda sneered and said: "Don't you often talk about Mencius's admonition that the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent." There is also the backbone of Li Bai'an who can break his eyebrows and bend his waist to do things with the powerful, why didn't I see you do it. ”

"Hmph, you yourself have forgotten to be ambitious, and the people are up to it, but you can't do it alone. I still have the face to say that I have changed. Li Mingda laughed shamefully: "It's just fifty steps and a hundred steps."

Liu Renzhi was ashamed and lowered his head.

"Master Liu, in fact, you don't have to feel uneasy." Li Mingda said with a smile: "The world is as black as a crow, not to mention the world, just the officialdom in Hangzhou, is it just the two of us who are greedy?" They're even better than we are. ”

"As far as I know, Fan Gong, and Chuzhi County don't have it." Liu Renzhi said softly.

Li Mingda was speechless for a moment, in order to be able to catch Chu Zhi's handle, he paid special attention to Chu Zhi's actions from time to time, and naturally knew that Liu Renzhi was not lying, he was speechless about it, a little annoyed and angry, and snorted: "I almost opened the topic for you, Master Liu, you give the truth, can you help this favor or not." ”

Looking at the long knife that shone in the candlelight. Liu Renzhi swallowed his throat with difficulty, neither nodding nor shaking his head, just like Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word, and in this way, it just showed his attitude.

"It seems that Master Liu is not ready to help." Li Mingda said lightly, Liu Ren's heart was shocked, and his body couldn't help but shrink.

Li Mingda swept his weapon, and the sword flashed. said with a smile: "Why should Master Liu worry, what kind of friendship do you and I have, even if you really do something that can't help me, how can I take it to heart, and it's just a trivial matter." ”

Knowing that Li Mingda had walked out of the famous smile and hiding the knife, the gentler his tone was, the more worried Liu Renzhi became. It's just that no matter how scared he is, he knows one thing better, if he chooses to help Li Mingda, once the incident happens, what kind of fate will it be, Liu Renzhi, who still has a wife and children at home, would rather suffer misfortune himself than want them to be affected by this.

"Then I'll take my leave." Li Mingda stood up, put the knife in its sheath, hung it on his waist, walked lightly to the door, crossed the threshold, and suddenly turned around slowly and said, "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell Brother Liu." ”

With an ominous meaning passing through his heart, Liu Renzhi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I haven't seen my nephew for a long time, I was so worried about it, and I didn't say hello to Brother Liu, so I asked him to be taken to my house for a few days, and my sister-in-law, she didn't seem to want to part with my nephew, so I simply invited him to go with me." Li Mingda said with a smile on his face: "Presumably Brother Liu won't be surprised." ”

His face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly lifted the curtain and ran into the bedroom, looking at the empty house, Liu Renzhi only felt that his eyes were dark, and the sky was spinning for a while, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

No wonder it always feels like something is wrong. In the past, when I returned home, my son slept, but his wife would always come out to greet him, but now he is nowhere to be seen, the reason why he ignored this matter was mainly because he saw Li Mingda, and it was normal for him to be horrified and not remember.

"Woe to my wife and children." Stroking his chest with a faint pain, Liu Renzhi's eyes were blood-red, he glared at Li Mingda, who followed up, gritted his teeth and said: "Li Mingda, you can't be so despicable and shameless. ”

"Brother Liu, I don't want to do this either." Li Mingda was indifferent and said lightly: "As long as you are willing to cooperate." How can I be rude to my wife and nephew, and when the matter is done, I will send them back safe and sound. It seems to be two ordinary sentences, but the meaning of threat is undoubtedly revealed,

His fists were clenched, his nails were embedded in the flesh, Liu Renzhi didn't feel it, and after a while, he gasped heavily, and said in a hateful voice: "Okay, how do you want me to help you." ”

"I know that Brother Liu will not disappoint my little brother." Li Mingda smiled proudly, but the hand holding the knife did not relax, he took two steps forward gently, his voice was very low, and he talked carefully about his own calculations.

A few minutes later, Liu Renzhi struggled. Nodding his head, he said, "No problem, I will act according to the plan." ”

"It's so good, I hope Brother Liu won't make any extraneous troubles, and the safety of Mrs. Prostitute and her nephew will all depend on you." did not mean to stay overnight, Li Mingda didn't even owe a few words of farewell. turned around and poisoned a few steps, suddenly thought of something, and said sideways: "Brother Liu's wife and children suddenly disappeared." If someone else asks, then"

"Early this morning, I went back to my hometown to visit relatives." Liu Renzhi Mu Ran said.

"Brother Liu is so smart, I'm relieved." Li Mingda said, laughed, walked quickly outside the house, and the figure flashed a few flats in the night, and then disappeared, leaving only Liu Renzhi on the steps. Looking at the deep black sky alone, the night wind hit, and a chill spread all over the body from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help but shudder.

Three days later, the sun was setting, and it was dusk. There were a few clouds floating in the sky, slowly dyed a fiery red color in the afterglow of the sun. On the shore of the West Lake, on the causeway, pedestrians come and go, a noisy scene.

On both sides of the lake, boats and boats shuttle, and in the center of the causeway, several stages are built. The performances on the stage are different, or singing and dancing or acrobatics, people are dazzled, the table seats under the stage are placed in a neat and orderly manner, the officials and rich people of Hangzhou City gather here, or talk to each other in twos and threes or carefully enjoy the performance of the performers, from time to time you can see several beautiful girls like butterflies, shuttling and dancing in the banquet, pouring wine and tea for the guests.

The atmosphere of the banquet is very harmonious, I don't know how long it took, anyway, it was late, a waning moon floated in the air, the cold moonlight and the lights on the ground reflected each other, reflected in the West Lake, shining a little bit. It's like the stars in the sky.

Of course, the credit is not only that Chu Zhen is not in the chief, but in a corner that is not too remote. After all, relatively speaking, there are not a few officials with a higher level than him in Hangzhou City, what kind of rotation envoys, punishment envoys and the like, there are more than a dozen principal officials and deputy positions, and they are arranged one by one, how can the chief have the position of Chu Qian.

Naturally, Chu Zhen wouldn't care about this. Toasted and drank with the officials at the same table, and talked happily, at this time, Liu Renzhi seemed to have something to do, walked over from the last seat, came to his side, and whispered a few words.

Chu Zhen nodded lightly and stood up. Said apologetically: "Suddenly there are some things to deal with, so I will be absent for a while, please take care of yourself, don't be surprised." (To be continued)
